Research Project?

(November 2007)
'Creative Reference File' was the title of the next brief. I decided to base the research on the Punk era, I have a great interest in the typography created around the 70's; especially the work on the Sex Pistols album artwork by Jamie Reid.


(Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK)

It's in your face, inconvenient, ripped; the use of safety pins, general 'roughness' and not giving a shit (basically), and with the combination of the ransom note type style Jamie Reid has used is just brilliant. It very much describes what punk was about; anti-establishment.

I think if I had worked harder and not been so thrown off by the lack of enthusiasm this project brought I would have been able to achieve a better grade.
